📱 办手机卡Get a SIM / Phone Plan
短期(旅行/打工度假):买预付费SIM卡,超市/便利店/运营商门店都有卖。推荐 Boost(使用Telstra网络,信号最好)或 Amaysim(便宜)。长期(学生/PR):签合约机或每月的 Plan,Telstra/Optus/Vodafone 三大网络任选。
📱 eSIM 更方便! iPhone XS/三星S20 及以后机型大多支持 eSIM,网上买完扫码激活,不用等实体卡邮寄,几分钟搞定。详见下方 eSIM 专节。 Short-term (travel/WHV): Buy a prepaid SIM at supermarkets, convenience stores or carrier shops. Boost (Telstra network, best coverage) or Amaysim (affordable). Long-term (students/PR): Monthly plans or phone contracts from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone.

🏥 注册 Medicare(医保)Register for Medicare
如果你持有PR、新西兰公民或某些特定签证(如部分难民签证),可以免费注册澳洲公立医疗保险 Medicare。申请后拿到临时号码(可立即使用),正式卡2–3周寄到。
⚠️ 留学生和学生签通常不能注册 Medicare,需要购买 OSHC(海外学生健康保险),由学校统一安排。 PR holders, NZ citizens, and holders of certain specific visas can register for Australia's free public health system. Get a temporary Medicare number immediately after applying; the physical card arrives in 2–3 weeks.
⚠️ International students generally cannot register for Medicare — you need OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) arranged through your school. -
